Amazing accessible cottage

Bagus08, Newcastle upon Tyne, United KingdomWe stayed in Wheatlands Cottage whilst our house was having major renovations works done. The cottage is wheelchair accessible and has a roll in shower room. Our stay was made as comfortable as possible by everyone at Burradon Farm and we couldn't have been looked after better. We had our two dogs with us and there are a number of routes to take them for a walk on the farm.
We would highly recommend staying at Burradon Farm Cottages.

Cottage fulfilled all our needs. Also clean and quiet

HappyDays54, UKMy husband, myself and small poodle-cross stopped in the "Honeysuckle" Cottage for 4 nights in June 2017. Lucy was very friendly and showed us around our accommodation. Coffee and Tea with biscuits was a nice welcome prior to doing our main food shop in Cramlington which is only a couple of miles or so down the road. I cant think of anything negative to write about. The cottage was nice and clean, and everything was there if you looked in the appropriate place.It was traditionally furnished which was in-keeping with the property. I would stop again without hesitation.

Superbly equipped and spacious cottage

lizzypig, Barrow-in-Furness, United KingdomWe stayed in Briarhill as 2 families with 5 little kids between us. The cottage was so well equipped and especially for children. Plenty of high chairs, good quality travel cots, kids plates & cutlery and games & books. It was very spacious, very clean and had lovely bedding and towels :)
Caroline was an excellent host. The grounds and views were beautiful and it was just the most wonderful experience :)
We were visiting for a family wedding so were very busy but the folder had details for what looked like loads of fun stuff to do in the area.

Visiting Mam & Dad

MikeBRS, Bristol, EnglandMy sister and I and partners travelled up to Seghill to visit my ailing father and give my mother some support. We planned to start at a Premier Inn, but because we were staying mid-week it was quite expensive.
We've looked at these cottages before, but for school holiday dates and they were beyond our budget. Off-season the prices were much better.
We stayed in Pele., a very nice 2 bedroom cottage on 1 floor. It was excellent and provided all our needs.
